I was quite happy since the only other Asus RMA I ever had they send the board back to me with a "nothing to fix" sticker on it. Man that p|ssed me off.
No! thats the bad thing about it :/ ive hooked up everything from the start.. never thought of testing it first :/

I did get a boot into bios just now ! then i thought ok fixed.. tried rebooting same !!!!

Now tried 5x allready again no boot. wth :/
